To all whrmt it may concern.-

Be it known that I, EDWARD THOMAS CLEA- THERO, of The Hollies, Barrington Road, Altrincham,in the county of Chester, England, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Platen-Presses; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to platen-presses such as are used for printing, stamping, and the like, and will be best understood by reference to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a front elevation of one of the improved presses with the feed board removed. Figs. 2 and 3 are elevations of respectively the left and right hand sides of the press. .Fig. 4is a rear elevation. Fig. 5 is a horizontal section on the crooked line 5 5 of Figs. 1 and 4 with the front of the frame removed. Fig. 6 is a longitudinal vertical section on the line 6 6 of Figs. 1, 4, and 5 looking from the left-hand side of the press. Fig. 7 is a longitudinal vertical section on the line 7 T of Figs. 1, 4, and 5 looking from the righthand side of the press. Fig. 8 is a side elevation of the change gearing for operating the feed and throw-off mechanism. Fig. 9 is a plan of Fig. 8. Fig. 10 is an elevation of a portion of the gearing shown in Figs. 8 and 9 for insuring proper register of the gearing. Fig. 11 is an elevation looking from the rear of the machine of the feed-drum mechanism. Figs. 12 and 13 are sections on respectively the lines 12 12 and 13 13 of Fig. 11 looking in the directions indicated by the arrows adjacent to those lines. Fig. 14 is an elevation looking from the left-hand side of the press, showing the mechanism for locking the platen-operating gear. Fig. 15 is a rear elevation of a part of the said mechanism. Fig. 16 is a plan, and Fig. 17 an elevation, of the right-hand side of Fig. 14. Fig. 18 is a front elevation of the platen, partly broken away, and its locking mechanism. Fig. 19 is an elevation of the left-hand end of Fig. 18. Fig. 20 is a horizontal section showing part of the mechanism illustrated in Figs. 18 and 19. Fig. 21 isa sectional plan, and 22 a side elevation, of

the type or die bed and part of the operating mechanism therefor. Fig. 23 is a left-hand side elevation of the inking mechanism. Fig. 24 is a sectional elevation on the crooked line 24 24 of Fig. 23. Fig. 25 is a vertical section on the line 25 25 of Fig. 23. Fig. 26 is a transverse section on the line 26 26 of Fig. 24. Fig. 27 is a plan showing the mechanism for vibrating the ink-distributing cylinder. Figs. 28 and 29 are elevations taken at right angles to each other. showing the device for locking the riding rollers in their bearings. Figs. 30 and 31 are Views, respectively, similar to Figs. 28 and 29, showing the device in its unlocked position. Figs. 32 and 33 are sectional elevations of the type or die locking device in its locked and unlocked positions, respectively; and Fig. 34 is a diagram illustrative of the operation of various parts of the press.

The detail drawings shown in Figs. 8 to 20 and 23 to 33, inclusive, are represented on a scale larger than that to which the other figures are drawn.

Throughout the several figures of the drawings similar characters of referencers are used to indicate similar parts.of the apparatus.

In constructing a press according to this invention two side frames 1 2 are provided having bearings for carrying the various operating-shafts. of which latter the shaft 3 is that which is first operated from any suitable outside source of rotary motion through the medium of a fast pulley 4 (5 representing the loose pulley) or otherwise, as may be desired. The said shaft 3 has secured on it a fly-wheel 6 and a spur-pinion 7, the latter gearing with a spur-wheel 8, secured on a shaft 9, extending across the machine parallel with the driving-shaft 3. On the shaft 9, as shown most clearly in Figs. 8 and 9, are rigidly secured two spur-wheels 1O 11 and a disk 12, the spur-wheels being arranged so that other spur-wheels, 13 and 14, may alternatively be brought into gear with them for varying the rate of output of the press. To the spur-wheels 13 and 14 are secured a disk 15 and a cam oreccentric 16, all of which are rigidly mounted on a sleeve 17 which is capable of being moved longitudinally along a shaft 18. The sleeve 17 is prevented from ro-
